Q

Arrhenius theory acids

A

Acids produce hydrogen ions when they are dissolved in water. Asses are substances that ionize in aqueous solution to form hydrogen ions
Note: the hydrogen ions are responsible for the acidic properties of these solutions

Q

Arrhenius Theory bases

A

Bases produce hydroxide ions when they are dissolved in water. Faces are substances that dissociate to form hydroxide ions in aqueous solution.
Note: the hydroxide ions are responsible for the basic properties of these solutions

Q

Hydronium Ions

A

The hydrogen Ion does not exist on its own but bonds to polar water molecules.
Hydrated protons, H3O+ (aq) is called a hydronium ion
Is responsible for acidic properties

Q

Acid Rules

A

Can be identified because the hydrogen ion is written first in the formula
Exception: acetic acid (CH3OOH(aq))
Acids are always given the state aqueous (aq)

Q

Naming acids

A 
The IUPAC name consist of three words: aqueous hydrogen and the name of the Anion 
Example: aqueous hydrogen chloride
Classic rules to name acids:
Hydrogen\_\_\_ide becomes hydro\_\_\_ic acid
Hydrogen\_\_\_ate becomes \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ic acid
Hydrogen\_\_\_ite becomes \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ous acid

Q

Litmus test

A

Used primarily to distinguish acids from bases
Red litmus turns blue if a base
Blue litmus turns red if an acid

Q

Conductivity test

A

Used to determine if a solution is ionic acidic basic or if the solution is molecular
If a solution conducts electricity it is either ionic, acidic, or basic
If a solution does not conduct electricity the solution contains a molecular compound
More dissolved ions will be more conductive then a solution with fewer dissolved ions

Q

Indicators

A

Substances that change colour when the acidity of the solution changes are called acid base indicators
These chemicals exist in at least two different forms each with a distinct colour

Q

PH paper

A

PH paper will give an exact pH of the substance being tested, it not only indicate acidic or basic but the actual PH
Note: you can use information from various indicators to determine the pH of an unknown sample

Q

PH as powers of 10

A

Measures the relative acidity of a solution. The pH Scale is a logarithmic Scale from 0-14 that gives us an indication of the nature of solution(negatives and greater than 14 are impossible)
Decrease by a pH of 1 means a substance is 10 times more acidic than another substance
Decreases of 3 pH units means substance is 1000 times more acidic

17
Q

PH calculations

A

pH= -log [H3O+(aq)
[H3O+(aq)]= 10^-pH
Note: Square brackets imply concentration

18
Q

pH of acids bases and neutral Substances

A

Acids have a pH between 0 and 7(lower the pH the more acidic)
Bases have a pH between 7-14(higher the pH the more basic)
Neural Substances have pH of 7

19
Q

Significant digits calculations

A

The number of digits following the decimal point in the pH value is equal to the number of significant digits in the hydronium ion concentration

20
Q

Converting pH to hydronium ion concentration

A

PH to hydronium concentration of a solution the hydronium ion concentration equals 10 to the negative exponent of the pH

21
Q

POH and hydroxide ion concentration

A

Follow the same procedures to convert between POH and hydroxide ion concentration
pOH=-log[OH-(aq)]
[OH-(aq)]=10^-pOH

22
Q

significant digits POH and hydroxide ion concentration

A

The number of digits following the decimal point in the POH value is the same as the number of significant digits of the hydroxide ion concentration

23
Q

Relationship between pH/pOH and ion concentration

A

Inverse relationship exist between the ion concentration in the PH or POH. The higher the hydronium ion concentration the stronger the acid and the lower the pH
The higher the hydroxide ion concentration the stronger the base and the lower the POH
**a low POH would correspond to a high pH

24
Q

Convert between PH andPOH

A

pH + pOH =14

25
Q

Explaining acids

A

Since the acid are in in aqueous solution the particles are constantly colliding with water Molecules. When they react with water molecules The hydronium ion forms if this forms it determines acidity
**acids are substances that react with water to produce hydronium ions

26
Q

Explaining bases

A

According to the modified theory faces or substances that react with water to produce hydroxide ions. If the base already contains hydroxide ions a simple dissociation produces the hydroxide ions directly

27
Q

Predict acid basic or neutral

A

Some situations it is difficult to predict whether the solution will be acidic basic or neutral. In these cases you need to be told whether it was acidic or basic or given the results of the lab test (litmus turned red)

28
Q

Neutralization

A

Neutralization reaction is a double replacement reaction where an acid reacts with a base to produce water and a neutral substance

29
Q

Modified neutralization reactions

A

Can now be defined as the reaction between hydronium and hydroxide ions to produce water

30
Q

Strong acids

A

High conductivity, high rate of reaction with active metals and carbonate, low pH, I concentration of hydronium ion’s, react completely (>99%) with water to form hydronium Ions
Ex: hydrochloride acid

31
Q

Weak acids

A

Low conductivity, lower rate of reaction with active metals and carbonate, relatively high pH compared to strong acid, lower concentration of hydronium ion’s, reacts incompletely (less than 50%) with water to form relatively few hydronium Ions
Ex: acetic acid

32
Q

Strong bases

A

High conductivity, very high pH, high concentration of hydroxide ions, dissociate completely in solution to produce hydroxide ions
*for every 1 mol of NaOH that dissociates, 1 mil of OH- is formed
Ex: sodium hydroxide

33
Q

Weak bases

A

Lower conductivity, pH closer to seven, lower concentration of hydroxide ions, react partially less than 50% with water to produce relatively few hydroxide ions, are either ionic or molecular compounds in their pure state
Ex: baking soda

34
Q

Polyprotic acids

A

Contain more than one acidic hydrogen ions in their formula and react more than once with water to produce hydronium ion
(In general are weak acids)

35
Q

Mono protic acids

A

Have only one acidic hydrogen ion in their formula and react only ones with water to produce hydronium ion
Ex: hydrogen chloride

36
Q

Monoprotic bases

A

React only once with water to produce hydroxide ions

37
Q

polyprotic bases

A

React more than once with water all the reactions with water are much less than 50%
( generally are weak bases, their reaction with water decreases with each successive step)
